I think I have this one down. Nearly indentical to the real thing. I mix 2 at a time, for me and my wife, so...

Low Carb Margarita:

6 oz. Tequila
2 oz. Lime Juice
1/3 oz 80 proof vodka
1/3 oz Davinci Sugar Free syrup (it is Splenda based and has no bad aftertaste, plus a decent consisancy)
1/2-1 teaspoon orange emulsion or orange extract (to taste)
ice

Triple Sec is low proof and has sugar in it. Recreating that taste is key.

This is about 2-2.5 carbs per drink. I use a lot of ice in the blender so that these 2 drinks will fill the glasses twice. You get "4" drinks out of the doubled recipe.

I am very close on the Jasper's Jamaican. Will have it down this weekend proabaly. Got to dial in the Allspice correctly as mine was made with vodka as base and not mixed with syrup. I should also have my Falernum ready to use this weekend to tackle the Navy Grog, Test Pilot and Zombie Punch low carb version.

Turns out the low carb honey is a very good match for honey syrup. It is a bit weak and watery as honey, but perfect for mixing.
